Force10 OS Resilient Ring Protocol (FRRP)
Force10 OS resilient ring protocol (FRRP) is a proprietary protocol for that offers fast convergence in a Layer 2 network without
having to run the spanning tree protocol (STP).
The resilient ring protocol is an efficient protocol that transmits a high-speed token across a ring to verify the link status. All the
intelligence is contained in the master node with practically no intelligence required of the transit mode.
Important Points to Remember
● FRRP is media- and speed-independent.
● FRRP is a Dell Networking proprietary protocol that does not interoperate with any other vendor.
● Spanning Tree must be disabled on both primary and secondary interfaces before Resilient Ring protocol is enabled.
● A VLAN configured as the control VLAN for a ring cannot be configured as a control or member VLAN for any other ring.
● Member VLANs across multiple rings are not supported in Master nodes.
● If multiple rings share one or more member VLANs, they cannot share any links between them.
● Each ring can have only one Master node; all others are Transit nodes.
● FRRP is not supported on port extender (PE) ports.
